The Aluminium Portable Vegetable Cage - perfect for protecting both fruit and vegetables - is ideal if you don’t want the visual impact of a walk-in, full-height fruit cage in your garden, need the extra height that it provides and regularly want to move the structure - often the case when growing vegetables and rotating crops. These 1m/3’3’’ high structures can be easily lifted up and over your crop (preferably with the help of another person on the larger sizes) as they are made of aluminium which is about a third of the weight of a steel equivalent.
Bottom running bars keep the cage where you need it and it's this versatile portability that allows the same cage can be used at different times of the year in various places in the garden. Supplied complete with frame, netting and all necessary fixings.
The 25mm diameter aluminium fruit cage door frame is 970mm wide and is supplied complete with locking hinges, clip-on door catches and a separate door catch upright - Please note one aluminium fruit cage door kit is included in the cost of all our standard aluminium fruit cages.
If you plan to erect your aluminium cage on a site that regularly experiences high winds, and /or if the soil condition is light and sandy, we recommend the addition of these Aluminium Fruit Cage Braces to give your cage extra rigidity. One brace kit, which will work on either a corner upright or a side upright, contains two aluminium struts and all the fittings required. The brace can be fitted after assembly of the main framework or retro fitted to an existing cage. Cages up to 6m (19’6’’) x6m (19’6’’) will require braces at the corners only, for bigger cages (in any direction) we recommend that at least the middle upright is braced on the sides over 6m (19’6’’) of the cage.
These braces are only suitable for use on our 25mm gauge walk-in Aluminium Fruit Cages, not the aluminium tubing and build-a-ball vegetable cages we also supply.
A steel, zinc plated foot plate for the door hinging upright is supplied as standard with steel fruit cages but is not included with the door kit for aluminium fruit cages, this foot plate ensures the hinging upright maintains position in softer soil conditions. Extra foot plates for all uprights can be supplied at an additional cost.
